Description

The alternate title for this piece is GAH too many gryphons at once. I originally intended to cel shade this, but gave up when I realized I had zero experience cel shading and it wasn't looking very good. I settled instead for an intermediate between simplicity and realism.

YAY FINAL YOUNG GRYPH CHALLENGE FINISHED!

Kiya [link] wasn't noticeable enough to warrant a personal talk with the Queen. She was told to stick around (with a few of the other young gryphons just coming-of-age) at the end of Titania's seasonal speech to the entire aerie. So there she was, gathered with everyone else during the no doubt droning talk--though she wasn't paying attention, because she was distracted by the handsome Tafari [link] instead.

He was watching the little owl-gryph Reva [link] fidget with some amusement. She always had trouble sitting still at events like this. To Reva's left was Quin [link] , the Yellow-billed Magpie/white lion gryphon; to her right were the two Grandesque Maralachs Skooma [link] and Skerry [link] , unenthusiastically recognizing the signs in Titania's demeanor that promised a particularly long speech.

Behind the Maralachs were Quinlan [link] and Aren [link] , with the two Secretary Bird gryphons Sativus [link] and Oume [link] holding their own conversation in the right front entrance. From right to left beside Aren were Gozah [link] Talib [link] and Bernyll [link] . Near the back of the group, Giovanni [link] appeared to be asleep, Maple [link] about to poke him to see if he really was. Emese [link] watched, curious to see what would happen.

In front of Emese sat Tswukar [link] Above him was Skeiiya [link] coming in for a landing, but she wasn't the only one running a little late--on the opposite side of the entrance, Talgarth [link] was also flying into the meeting.

The two Harpy Eagle gryphons Parsa [link] and Pasquale [link] (both looking very bored with Titania's speech) were perched on a raised rock platform above the dark crow-gryph Aivia [link] and her falcon-gryph friend Kailani [link] To their left were Osric [link] and Hoplite [link] , and in front of them Ilari [link] and Krenari [link] .

Albino Ceylon sat near the center of the group [link] ; Amba [link] to her left. In front of leucistic Red-tail gryph Kolet [link] , from left to right, were Tiberius [link] Verlidaine [link] and Lalou [link] . Finally, Arzu [link] lounged at the front of the group, appearing to pay attention--though she may have been thinking about how annoyed she was to be up in the middle of the day for this.
